University Writing Center

Tutoring at the UWC

Tutoring at the UWC begins with the student's participation. Writing Consultants are able to give better assistance if the student brings the assignment and any material they may have prepared. Any questions concerning the paper will help focus the session for the consultant. Tutoring sessions typically:

Last 30-40 minutes
Focus on two or three writing issues
Improve your writing skills as you talk one-on-one with a tutor
Involve reading aloud and brainstorming
Conclude with a short evaluation and reiteration of what you need to do next
May include follow-up sessions
Respect the confidentiality of your visit. A consultant will send a report form to your instructor only at your request.
